IPTV and QoS

[brummygit]

I'm running Merlin 380.66 Alpha 3 but suspect this isn't relevant. I have BT TV service in my home which I think is using multicast and noticed issues tonight that my uplink bandwidth was flooded causing issues even though I had adaptive QoS turned on.

I also noticed that with my IP channel tuned, the QoS "speedo" was showing around 8Mb/s upload traffic but I couldn't see it in the apps analysis, but if I turned to a non-IP channel this bandwidth consumption stopped.

Is there something weird in multicast IPTV streaming , a problem with Adaptive QoS, or something else I don't understand?

Adaptive qos is not working for me on the alpha. I had to use traditional qos. Waiting on a fix. Hopefully alpha 4
68u here.

That's interesting as I've tried both automatic mode and manually configured bandwidth on the adaptive QoS with the same results. I'm also using an AC68U.

My understanding is that Traditional QoS has been broken in the Asus Firmware for a number of releases so I'm (pleasantly) surprised to hear that its working for you.

Well in my findings before alpha. Adaptive gave me A's across the board on the dslreports speed test. After going to alpha using adaptive it no longer limits my upload or download properly. When using traditional at least it limits my connection and my bufferbloat is fixed again. So not entirely sure its working 100% but definitely better than adaptive.

Were you using automatic or manual bandwidth settings with the Adaptive QoS?

for me adaptive qos work strange.
When I set 20/2/media streaming then when i watch eg. YT on tv and downloading file on laptop then YT is freezeing, but when i change speed to 18/2 then YT work flawless..


WHY ???

I think you need to leave a little headroom (maybe 10%) in your bandwidth entries compared to the actual sync speed, then you get the best performance from the QoS

I'm still trying to work out my original query which looks very much like multicast is either being sent back out of my WAN port, or at least that's what the ASUS QoS on my RT-AC68U thinks. It's the same on the latest stock firmware.

Can anyone help me either confirm my theory or block outbound multicast traffic before it hits my WAN interface?
